<h1>The CUBudget Main Window</h1>
<p>
The main window is where you will spend most of your time;
below is a typical screenshot.
</p>

<p>
The main window consists of three sections:
<ul>
<li><a href='#MenuBar'>The Menu Bar</a>,</li>
<li><a href='#Ledger'>The Ledger</a>,</li>
<li><a href='#InputPanel'>The Input Panel</a></li>
</ul>
</p>
<a name='MenuBar'><h2>Menu Bar</h2></a>
<p>
The menu bar has two menus, shown below.
</p>
<table cellspacing=30><tr>
<td><img height=243 width=330 src='filemenu.png'></td>
<td><img height=243 width=330 src='helpmenu.png'></td>
</tr></table>
<p>
The File Menu has options for loading and saving accounts, as
well as exiting CUBudget.
</p>
<p>
The Help Menu accesses this manual as well as displaying version information.
</p>


<a name='Ledger'><h2>Ledger</h2></a>
<p>
The ledger screen has a checkbook-style display of all transactions
on the current account.
<dl>
<dt>Date</dt><dd>This is the date that the transaction happened</dd>
<dt>Payee</dt><dd>This is the Payee for debits and the Payer for credits</dd>

                   the account</dd>
<dt>Balance</dt><dd>This is the balance after the transaction as been
                    applied to the account</dd>
</dl>
</p>

<a name='InputPanel'><h2>Input Panel</h2></a>
<p>
The Input Panel is where transactions are created and added to the account.
</p>
<img src='transactiontypes.png'>
<p>
Use this panel to set the type of the transaction, date, payee/payer, amount,
and any comments.  The Clear button will clear all fields, Delete will delete
the current transaction, and Enter will create a new transaction with the
current details.
